Good guess. Now, for the big prize, the Holy Grail, you would have to provide some insight. Something like....I am a mechanic, and I work with a guy who services plane for teams, and he tells me.... Or, I know a pilot who works for the Cowboys. This guy is a real piece of sheet alcoholic.

Solid prediction, odds wise, but a bit of spaghetti throwing at the wall. But it is something that has a very small chance of happening, yet if it happened, would make perfect sense. You would stand a huge chance of taking down top honors here, though of course we don't want you to win, now do we? Don't try to claim a win if a plane scoots of the runway a bit and slams into a bale of hay....with no injuries....lol.

Jerry Jones kneels during the anthem on their Thanksgiving Day game and is shunned by Dak for the rest of the season.

This may be a case of me having too much recent info in my head to appreciate the true odds here. If he had mentioned any other back in the league, my first reaction would be "no chance". I would say that his guess is better than it appeared to me at first glance, which means he should probably get more credit than I gave him, as this is the exact type of answer that would be deserving of the prize, if LeVeon Bell should pull this off.

The sad part about this, is that I am certain that there are props out there where this can be bet, and unless BOIDS makes a wager, it would be a bad beat to win this thread, and taking down pats on the back, instead of cash. For sure, Bell would be available in a field bet at decent odds...at a minimum. I still want to say that if his specific odds are posted in Vegas or offshore, that they are less than 200 to 1. But whatever they are, Bell is a great guess. Whatever his odds are, they are certainly much higher than my pick of having the Patriots miss the playoffs, so if both BOIDS and I connect, I stand zero chance to grab the prize in the thread.
for reference, Jarvis Landry is 200-1 and he's had two 1100 yard seasons and averages 100 catches per season. bell averages 62 catches per season and has only 1 season with over 655 yards

(I'd actually bet on Landry at 200-1, but everyone hates him in here so..)

Thanks for that. Bell is a great guess for this thread. It is highly improbable, though if it happened, you would be able to at least plausibly explain it. The more I think about it, the more I appreciate BOIDs' prediction, which happened right off the bat when the thread started. Now, maybe I can give myself a bit of credit for at least knowing that it had a bit of a chance, as most would be clueless as to Bell's receiving prowess. But it wouldn't be right to do that, so I won't.

Kirk Cousins will win MVP. He put up pretty damn good numbers with zero talent last year and the Vikings weapons (diggs, thielen & Rudolph) made even Case Keenum look good last year.

my INSIGHT is that one day a team is going to figure out that pass >>>>>> LOLRUN, and that RBs often get matched up against fatass useless whiteguy linebackers in coverage, so therefore you should throw the egg to your RB all the damn time. and that year might be 2018

much more likely of course is that bell spends his year smashing his brains into the line for 0.25 yards because lol olds will be calling the plays but thats why its a MOONSHAT

Kerryon Johnson will this year be the first Lions rusher to get 100 yards in a game since 2013.

He will also be the second, third, and fourth.

And you just know this can truly happen. If they start out really struggling, the pressure will mount and it will be fascinating to watch. Good prediction. But you have to believe that all involved would want to save face and go at least into the second year, no matter what the result.....maybe Gruden will develop a mystery illness to help with the jettison out the door.

I could picture a Tim Donahgy-style scandal going on at some point late in the season. With all of the influence refs will have with yet more catch rules and use of helmet penalties to go along with the myriad of other objective calls (PI, holding, etc), combined with the legalization of sports gambling, seems probable.

A scandal will be set in motion that ultimately leads to Jerry Jones being forced to sell the Dallas Cowboys. The sale won't occur during the season, of course, but the scandal that leads to his downfall will break during the season.
